Easy Street Billiards — Restaurant in Monterey

Noticed a past photo of the legendary Efren Reyes in this bars profile and figured I'd stop by to hit a few balls around. A few 9 foot tables. The one I played on seemed decent.

Was told that they were closing in less than an hour and that if I was going to play, I'd be charged $14 dollars for an hour. I probably spent a total of 15-20 minutes shooting for a bit and decided to leave. Was charged for a full hour. Either the red head bar tender guy didn't know how to properly calculate time for pool or just simply wanted to charge me because I wasn't going to order any food did not feel welcoming.

A nearby player was kind enough to hopped over to showed me where that was located.

Seemed like a chill place to shoot some pool, however the staff member did not seem friendly at all. Would not recommend for anyone looking for a friendly bar with pool tables...

If I could rate this at a 0, I would. Owner is very disrespectful and rude, plain and simple. "Veteran owned" only means something when the veteran owner doesn't talk smack about my girlfriend and I and our very clearly beginner game performance. Things such as "They don't even know what 9 ball is" were said in a whisper but just loud enough for us to hear. I honestly had to look up the place online after leaving well before we were ready, just to verify that the unprofessional and extremely rude "person" who claimed they were the owner was in fact the owner... And I still don't know his name.

All of this is coming from a fellow veteran. I don't care if you're the pope. If you run a business like that, I won't support it. A polite introduction would have gone a long way. I won't be...

I went there for the first time last night (sep. 19, 2013), and before going, I went to this google website for the address, and saw a few bad reviews. I rarely write reviews, but I had a very positive experience, so thought I would put one up, just to keep things current.

I was impressed when I first walked in. The place was very clean, there was ample space between each table, and the layout felt like a good old classic pool hall. Not too big, but not too small. Every table looked fresh, with untorn even looking cloth. The equipment looked in very good shape. I was greeted right away, and within minutes was shooting pool. Personally, I think it is a great local pool hall, and committed to having good...
